"truth is what you get when truth is what you speak"

lines of a song
echo in my soul...
truth
is
what we need
to speak...

when words won't come,
it is
because
i can't find
my truth...

i'd rather
be silent,
than speak
empty words.

i write,
and delete...
and write,
and delete...
as truth
evades me

I used to be able to find truth in a "blue note" when words would fail me...music was a way to deal with things that were unspeakable.

I miss that safety valve!

As I have missed you!
